"Homer vs. Patty and Selma"
617 2F14
Original Airdate: 2/26/95
Foolishly, Homer pulls all of his stock out of Pumpkin futures just before
the pre-Halloween boom in the Pumpkin market. Broke and dejected, he is reduced
to taking a loan from his sisters-in-law, Patty and Selma. Clearly relishing
Homer's degradation, Patty and Selma make him their slave. Meanwhile, Bart
is forced to take ballet lessons. Homer waits on Patty and Selma hand and
foot until he admits to Marge that he lost all of the family's money and needed
to take a loan. To make ends meet, Homer becomes a limousine driver but needs
to go to the DMV to get the proper license. While there, Patty and Selma are
nearly fired for smoking on the job, but Homer steps in and saves the day
by claiming that he was smoking. Their jobs saved, Patty and Selma forget
Homer's debt to them. As a result of his lessons, Bart has grown to love ballet
and isn't ashamed to admit it even when a gang of bullies accuses him of being
a sissy.
Guest Star: Susan Sarandon as the ballet teacher.
